BLACK LITERARY HISTORY
Component: Lecture
Black activists of the nineteenth century are called abolitionists so routinely that the appellation goes unmarked and unnoticed. This class will re-center Black activism in relation to the Colored Conventions Movement, which shared its genesis with the antebellum abolitionist movement, but continued, indeed grew, in scope and force after the Civil War.
